About
Led by IMDEA Networks Institute, one of Spain’s leading innovation and development centers, the ambitious ENABLE-6G project (carried out in collaboration with Telefónica, NEC Europe and BlueSpecs) will oversee the future technology requirements of the European UNICO-5G projects: MAP-6G and RISC-6G. The project aims to address the challenges that face future 6G networks including increased connectivity, higher performance demands, advanced object and environment detection, and communication.
With the development of 5G driving edge computing, researchers are already looking to the future of 6G. The ENABLE 6G project is crucial due to challenges in capacity, energy efficiency, latency, data security, and privacy. 6G networks must be more adaptable, intelligent, and energy-efficient while providing stronger security and privacy measures. Precise mapping and sensing, data privacy, and security are major concerns for both 5G and future 6G deployments. The ENABLE-6G project’s main objectives include advanced privacy protection and reducing the energy footprint per device.
ENABLE-6G counts on the excellent IMDEA Networks scientists led by Domenico Giustiniano and Joerg Widmer. Their research is at the forefront of 6G innovation and development in Spain, and they face several challenges in the RISC-6G project, including optimizing detection and communication, accurate localization, and improving communication performance. They aim to demonstrate the benefits of 6G, such as increased accuracy, reliability, coverage, and efficiency. In the MAP-6G project, the team will develop 6G localization algorithms and robust techniques using emerging wireless technologies. Despite any challenges, they are committed to delivering innovative solutions to improve future wireless networks.
